Teaching Indigenous Languages

In collaboration with the University of Winnipeg and the Indigenous Languages of Manitoba, Teaching Indigenous Languages program was developed to teach courses specific to Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and Ininimowin (Cree).

Through this pilot project, the partners will aim to strengthen education and employment training for Indigenous people and their participation in Canadian society, promote, strengthen and revitalize Indigenous languages and cultures, and foster personal development for Indigenous language speakers, who will then be able to drive projects and training in their own communities and schools.

Graduates of this certificate program will be provided skills to teach Anishinaabemowin or Ininimowin to adult learners in a community program, including Indigenous Languages of Manitoba language classes, as well as other introductory courses.
